SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 296,807, dated April15, 1884.

Application filed January 25, 1884. (No model.)

To a/Z whom t may concern: f

Be it known that I, JOSEPH Wiss, of Watertown, in the county ofJefferson and State of New York, have invented a new and usefulImprovement' in Drawer-Locks, which improvement is fully set forth inthefollowing specication.

This invention relates more particularly to locks for securing thedrawers of sewing-machine cabinets or stands, the same being providedwith a double turn-bolt, so placed that the said bolt locks at the sametime two adjacent drawers; but it is applicable in whole `bolt may, forexample, be used to lock two hinged frames, windows, or doors, the lock`being placed on a bar or stationary piece at the meeting of the frames,and the bolt operating after the manner of a double button. In

use it is set in a mortise.

Heretofore various forms of drawer-locks with Vdouble turn-bolts havebeen made.

The present invention consists in the particular construction of thelock frame or case and the manner of combining the bolt therewith.

The lock frame or case consists of a strip bent and folded over uponitself. The bolt is placed in the slit or slot between the two leaves orportions of the case. The strip is of a width less than the length ofthe inclosed bolt, so that by turning the latter its ends can be made toproject beyond the case, or can be Withdrawn into it. The bolt issupported on one or more projections, which fit Within one or more holesor recesses, the said projections and recesses being on the bolt andcase, respectively. The inclosure of the bolt between the two leavesprevents the projection or projections from leaving their holes orrecesses. The leaves also, by their friction, retain the bolt inwhichever position it may be placed. Whenever the bolt becomes loose, itcan be tightened by forcing the leaves of the case closer together. Asthese are connected at one end only, this can always be easily e'ected.The supporting projection or prof the bolt.

jections before referred to are so shaped that they form a pivot to thebolt, or take the place of a pivotthat is to say, form a support onwhich the bolt may turn. Preferably a cylindrical projection is formedintegral with the bolt by punching a hole therein, so as to throwr out aburr on the back. This burr, being filed into shape, constitutes thepivot of the bolt. The hole punched is square or triangular, andserves'to receive a key for turning the bolt.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is aperspective View of the lock;Fig. 2, a central longitudinal section; Fig. 3, a view of the stripbefore bending, and Fig. 4 a view of The folded strip A. constitutes thecase or lock frame. B is an inclosed double bolt. The strip A'has'threepairs of holes, c b c, respectively, cut therein. They are so arrangedthat when the strip is folded those of every pair come opposite eachother, as shown in Figs. l and 2. The bolt B has in the :middle asquared or triangular hole, d, formed by punching in such manner as tothrouT outa burr, e, at the back. For this purpose suitg able male andfemale dies are preferably eniployed. The burr e, after filing, forms acylindrical projection at the back of the bolt, and when inserted in oneof the large holes a becomes the pivot to the bolt. Then the bolt is inplace, the strip A is folded over so as to inclose the bolt between thetwo leaves thereof, and is subjected to pressure, so that the leaveswill not spring apart. The lock is secured in place by pins, screws, orrivets through the small holes b c. At f is a small projection to limitthe movement of the bolt, and at g the bolt is provided with a notch toreceive the projection jl when the bolt is retracted into the case.
